Hi Walker,

You can also add a onion if you like onions, I did and it was so good, I made an omelet for breakfast and added some feta cheese for a change, very good

Sounds good deb! I would add those onions in too. I would think this would be good over fish or chicken also. Thanks!

My niece made a version of this for a family get together last summer (she omitted the green pepper, had s little more parsley and cilantro, and added red onion and cumin). IMO, is has to be cold to be at its best. So refreshing, I could make a meal out of it...just pretend it's gazpacho.

i make something similar to this as a side dish..... i use the small mediterranean/middle eastern cucumbers (with virtually no seeds and no need to peel), no green pepper, but it has spring onion and a drizzle of olive oil......so delicious this time of the year, especially when you use good tomatoes.
